It is cooked in a large clay pot which leads some nice crispy bits of rice. The fried scallop and spring onion provides a nice combination of flavors to the dish. Dried scallops are often too salty and overpowering but that is not the case here. The shrimp dumplings, rice rolls and chicken feet are also solid as well. There is a pretty extensive dessert offering so do save some room for dessert.

I heard the manager telling the waitress to block the entrance and "not to let others come in...." They spoke in Cantonese and of course never expect me to understand that as I spoke English to them. It is not wise to give this type of instruction out loud in front of customer. Overall the service still ... "Okay". I ordered a set of Singapore Hainanese chicken rice, it was great! Trust me... It tasted so authentic, the chicken was tender and fragrant. The garlic chilie paste or blend was superb! Although it's a very expensive lunch.

They kicked off the holiday buffet early this year (in November), and the vibes are really cool, lots of neon lights and beautiful Christmas decor right at the entrance. The food quality is unbelievable. We actually had a hard time deciding what to grab first! * Seafood: The selection is luxurious. They have an expensive cold seafood tower, fresh lobster, sashimi, sea cucumbers, shrimp, and fish. * Meat Station: The variety is unimaginable. They have everything from Spanish hams and roasted beef to Japanese BBQ meats and Tandoori chicken. * Noodles: Don't skip the noodle station; the Hong Kong noodles and Singapore Laksa were great. The dessert station is so expansive I can't even remember all the selections, but I stuck to the Chinese desserts and loved the egg tarts and the grass jelly with red bean. Service was super attentive the whole night. Pro-tip: We bought our buffet tickets on the KKday app and got a 15% discount. Definitely check there before you book!

The Place is the tip-top excellent breakfast restaurant for the Cordis hotel.  They also serve set…read moreprice lunches and dinners, but we only came here for breakfast, 5 times and on each morning of our wonderful 5 night stay at the Cordis.  They served the most extensive and fresh Chinese/western style buffet breakfast I have ever experienced, and I have had a lot of them over the years. It's not cheap though and the retail cost is $38 USD per person.   We ended up paying $20 USD per person per day as part of our hotel rate package, and like airline fares the hotel rates change depending on when you book, but that was about the cheapest I ever saw before booking.  The hotel receptionist mentioned that if you want to sign up for breakfast upon registration (we only checked as we were interested in inviting an outside guest for one breakfast outing), you can get the discounted $20 USD per person rate but you have to sign up for every day of your stay. Anyway, as usual, photos speak a thousand words, and you can see for yourself on the variety of offerings.  I very much enjoyed every morning here to start the day.  Just some of the items included 3 dim sum varieties each day, made to order noodle soups, made to order egg dishes (the omelettes were amazingly fluffy and fresh), a huge variety of pastries and breads, congee with a lot of exotic condiments, freshly made fruit drinks, various juices, fruits, and salads, various chicken and sausage servings, delicious milk teas, coffee options, etc.  I really liked the delicious milk tea and opted for that instead of coffee every morning.  I also really liked a glass of freshly made celery/green apple juice every morning as well and also their self-serve lime juice.  Actually, I liked everything I tried lol, still did not get to it all as I only have one stomach, and I had a leisurely variety of small plates every morning. The breakfast restaurant manager was Vinod, a very friendly, engaging, and gregarious Indian man and he has been the manager here for 5 years.  We chatted often, got to know each other a bit, and he personally made me a milk tea whenever he could, so good they were!  The staff was 5 star efficient, eagle-eyed, and kept the tables cleared.   I could tell Vinod was a real world-class food industry pro.  Overall, The Place is the best, was well worth what we paid, and I will miss it!

Everyone got up to get food at the same time and it was just chaotic. I hated how they made us wait in lines to get the good stuff (lobster, oysters, sashimi, etc.), and after waiting in line they only give you 2 oysters and a couple of pieces of sashimi. If you want more, you'll have to go and wait in line again. In general, the food was nothing special. The cost was about $450hkd- totally not worth the pain of waiting in line for everything. I also found an eyelash in my ice cream. yuck.

The name is as literal as can be, as…read moreHarbourside sits on the Kowloon side staring at one of the most stunning views of the Hong Kong skyline (as is the rest of the Intercontinental). From a food front, the spread is luxurious as it is enormous. The variety is a bit dizzying and completely overwhelming for the average hungrier than life patron. At $500-900HKD, it's almost hard to see where the value lies. Is it the ambiance (which is breathtaking), the service (which is superb), or the quality of the food (which is good for a buffet)? I'd have to say it's a little bit of everything. If all you can eat in an high end setting sounds appealing to you, then this is one of the better hotel buffets in Hong Kong. The seafood selection is the place where most folks tend to get the most bang for their buck. From mussels, clams, prawns, and limited oysters, there is also snow crab legs and lobster claws. Occasionally there are whole crabs and lobsters, which usually taste like they've been frozen. The sushi is an easy skip, due to the terrible presentation and slim cuts, but the sashimi, particularly the salmon, is quite good. There is also a decent variety of smoked salmon, which seems to be one of the most popular items in any HK buffet. The Italiano section features various breads, cold cuts, and cheeses. There is a pasta station, but it's closer to the middle where the hot foods are prepared. The dried fruits selection is nicely paired with the various cheeses ranging from gruyere to bleu. This area is not particularly impressive on its own, but decent for variety's sake. Hodgepodge is the best way I can describe the hot foods area. Random foods from a featured cuisine of the month (in my case, it was Korean), along with Dim Sum during lunch time, and various cuisines that span from Indian to Continental. There is also a carving station with trio of meats (ham, lamb, beef) as well as a "you make it" wonton noodle station. Big ups to the truffled potato mash, that was probably my favorite savory side dish there. Desserts are usually my least favorite portion of any buffet, but they do a good job showcasing some serious variety here. There are pastries, fresh fruits, candied pieces, a macaron tower, and even a fondue fountain. That's not to say that all sweet tooths will be conquered, this is Asia after all. Having been to a fair number of hotel buffets in Tsim Sha Tsui, I can safely attest that Harbourside is indeed among the better ones. For the variety alone, it's a glutton's paradise but the view is virtually unbeatable. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

With a bunch of places in mind to go for brunch in and around Hong Kong, Harbourside at the…read moreIntercontinental was not far down my list. We made reservations a few weeks in advance because they book up quickly. The Sunday brunch that is offered is about $808HKD plus 10%. There is an option for free flow Champagne (Perrier Jouet) for about $858HKD plus 10%. Having been here on numerous occasions for my share of boozy brunches, I feel the quality of the food has gone down in the recent year. A lot of people love having the lobsters and the cold seafood bar. The bar in my most recent visit seems a bit messy and not as much variety of the types of seafood begin offered. The staff here are always very pleasant. There are servers walking around with bottles and bottles of champagne ready to top you up before you're on empty. They keep the bubbles coming so you don't even think about eating the food? That seems to be a tactic that worked on me. I didn't notice the downfall of the food until my buzz wore off. The brunch is one of the longer ones compared to other places. You can be seated starting 11:30 and the last drop of bubbly would be poured into your glass at 3:00. The cost of the buffet also covers you a drink at the end of your meal should you want a latte or tea to finish you off.
